Shrimp Boat on Mobile Bay (Billy Pope)
Scope /

Global production of wild-caught shrimps and prawns has remained consistently above 3 million metric tonnes over the past five years. While overall volumes have held steady, the composition of supply has shifted—some stocks have recovered, while others have declined.

In this session, we will explore the evolving role of the wild-capture sector within a shrimp and prawn industry increasingly shaped by growth, market diversification, and sustainability pressures. What are the latest trends across key producing regions? How are leading companies adapting their strategies to meet the rising demands of environmentally conscious consumers and stricter ESG regulations?

Join us for an engaging discussion, sponsored by the Marine Stewardship Council, that brings together fishery managers, supply chain leaders, and market experts to shed light on the future of this critical segment of the global shrimp industry.
